Hi @tubby3232,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Updating the BIOS on your HP laptop can improve performance, fix bugs, and enhance security. Follow these steps carefully.
 

Using HP Support Assistant (Recommended)

Open HP Support Assistant

• If installed, search for HP Support Assistant in Windows and open it.
• If not installed, download it from HP's website.

Check for Updates

• Click on Updates and look for a BIOS update.
• If available, follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

Restart Your Laptop

• The system will restart multiple times during the update. Do not turn off your laptop.

Manual Update via HP Website

Find Your Model

• Press Windows + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter.
• Note your System Model and BIOS Version/Date.

Download the BIOS Update

• Go to the HP Software & Driver Downloads page.
• Enter your laptop model and select BIOS under the list of available updates.
• If a newer version is available, download it.

Install the BIOS Update

• Run the downloaded BIOS update file (.exe).
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
• The system will restart multiple times.

BIOS Update via USB (If Windows Doesn't Boot)

1. Prepare a USB Drive (at least 8GB, formatted to FAT32).
2. Download the BIOS file from HP's website.
3. Create a BIOS recovery USB using HP’s BIOS Update Utility.
4. Restart your laptop and enter BIOS (press Esc, F2, or F10 at boot).
5. Select "Firmware Management" > "BIOS Update" and follow instructions.

Note:

Keep your laptop plugged in during the update.
Do NOT turn off or interrupt the process.
If the update fails, try a hard reset (hold power for 15 seconds).

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
